About

Geoff Tate is an American singer and songwriter best known as the founding frontman of progressive metal band Queensrÿche, which he led from 1982 to 2012. His powerful tenor voice drove landmark albums such as Operation: Mindcrime (1988) and Empire (1990), helping the band sell over 20 million records worldwide and earn multiple Grammy nominations. After a legal split from Queensrÿche in 2014, Tate has continued under the Operation: Mindcrime banner - releasing a concept album trilogy between 2015 and 2017 - and in May 2026 put out Operation: Mindcrime III, the long-awaited third chapter of the original story.
